The Goal

The goal of the Rocker Memorial Skatepark Project is to provide Truckee/North Lake Tahoe with a state of the art, 25,000 square foot skatepark to benefit the entire community. The park will also be capable of hosting world-class competitions that will increase year-round tourism and generously give back to the community that is helping make this dream a reality.

Community

Rocker Memorial Skatepark will provide a place for skaters of all ages and abilities while also serving as a centralized community meeting place for all area skaters. We believe that this project will also serve as a reminder of the impact one person can have and the importance of carrying that legacy into the future to change lives through skateboarding.

About the Skatepark

If Rocker’s passing could teach us something, its to spend our time where it counts, having fun with friends & sharing the joy of what we love with others. Truckee’s new skate facility will be a focus of the community Rocker was a part of, and memories of our friend will make the community bigger, better, and more fun than it ever was.

Skateboarding is about spending good times with friends.

Rocker Memorial Skatepark is a grassroots effort to construct a brand new, state-of-the-art 25,000 foot skatepark in Truckee, California. Our committee overcame the most important hurdle during the summer of 2015 when Truckee Donner Recreation & Park District approved our plan and granted us use of the land at the corner of Estates Drive and Brockway Road adjacent to the existing skatepark. With approval granted, we are now actively fundraising and moving forward with the project. We look forward to your involvement and support!

Views from the local board sports community.

RMSP. Keeps our community and kids doing the sports that keep kids busy and not getting in trouble.
Skateboarding is a huge part of why we deliver amazing athletes from Tahoe. As our community grows the park becomes unsafe due to many people skating. My family grew up in skateparks and I’m proud to continue the tradition with my children.

I am so excited for the Rocker memorial park to open in truckee. This park is the culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and life long friendships. It is made in the honor of all those who never forget the people in their lives who made a difference. Steve Anderson was one of those people. This park will bring together people from all over the world and in doing so, maintain the comraderie of skateboarding into the future. Rocker 4 ever!

Because Rocker was everything that Truckee is to so many now and the generations to come. If anyplace deserves a great skatepark Truckee does! The history of the Truckee in board sports is undeniable and what better to commemorate his life and the Truckee lifestyle than a bad ass skatepark for all to enjoy…
